REPOSITIONED ALL STAR WOULD TURBO-BOOST FLAGGING OZ CUP, BROWELL March 15, 2021 2:13 pm By Matt Stewart, Racing Editor  Michael Browell’s fantasy for the future is a reshuffled summer/autumn carnival in Melbourne, with the Moonee Valley. As much as the Valley chief was as blown away as everyone else by the intimate drama of Saturday’s epic All-Star, where Hugh Bowman and Damien Oliver waged a war of wits as their mounts slogged it out through the Valley mud, Browell realises it’s “$1.04” that Racing Victoria would continue to rotate the race through the three city tracks.
